Make sure to utilize all the great tools BP has to offer, along with networking and joining local groups.

We've been told by a local appraiser and real estate agent that the property should now appraise for $1M+.We took a private loan from a family friend at $250,000 to purchase the property.

So location, price point of acquisition , property management, quality of renovation( bulletproofing) and not getting caught up on what people think are market rents keeps your places full.

Google "private capital multifamily" and "hard money multifamily" for some leads on local hard money lenders in your lender and reach out directly.

As you grow your portfolio, consider diversifying your investment locations and property types to mitigate risks.

I'm located in the KC market as well - this is the place to be!

If you are interested in real estate investing, have one of your parents take you to a local real estate meetup and talk to some investors.

Check your local laws, but if it starts for Sept 1, tell them you need the new lease signed before Aug 1 because if it isn't signed, then they need to move by Aug 31 (or I guess the 7th) and you need to be able to get the place rented.

Location- was it near coastal air?

I ended up purchasing a ready to go 8 person barrel sauna from a local manufacturer.
